WAU!

I did think that largest devices at online starte are (and will be) S3-400, having 1500 also listed is nice move!

Can you put some numbers on that ? If we accept that 250,000 or 500,000 pcs in 2006 is largish volumes, what is the Xilinx threshold for "small-volume" ?

Is it a price threshold, or a units threshold, and what happens if you go over it ?

The Xilinx Online Store offers products for near-term delivery, essentially at the single-unit pricing. While we would be more than happy to ship thousands of units at that price, you will receive better pricing through one of our world-wide sales partners for volumes exceeding 25 units.

I think the online store is meant for sending you really small numbers of devices, really fast. That's the Digi-Key model: "Single-unit price, but you have it next day. No discussion, no rebates, no returns, no support". Ideal for prototyping. If you need a hundred, talk to the distributor.
